[O] check if properties drawer exists before creating or manipulating?

2013-10-31 Thread Matt Price
(still trying to set properties automatically when a minor-mode is
set, see first message in thread)

Is there a simple way to check if the properties drawer exists before
creating one?
I'm trying to add a hook to org-insert-heading-hook that will create a
property drawer if one doesn't exist; I don't want to create a bunch
of independent properties drawers.

Thanks!

Matt

What about narrowing to the current entry and then searching for the
regex in the variable org-property-drawer-re (which see)?

Hth,

Why can't you set properties directly with org-set-property? It'll
create the drawer if it does not exist and reuse the existing drawer
if it does.
